My FHFS from Melody

How lucky was I to receive all of these beautiful gifts from the Melody.  I had been waiting to get a photo of the hexi bag, It is stunning,

Melody also included all of these other goodies, a tin filled with blue and green buttons, fabric, cottage garden threads, button, teddy print and Lindt chocolates( Andrew (hubby) informed me they were his favorite) hence why they went very quickly.

Melody also included some goodies for Angus.

Important Message regarding the ruler covers

Peg and i have discussed this after a couple of ladies were asking about Ruler cover sizes,so we have decided that if you would like a peticular size for your ruler,please comment on this post so that your partner that is sending to you knows what size to make and if size doesnt worry you please just comment surprise,hoping that this all works out for everyone.

The above ruler cover pattern is a Marg Low design and can be purchased here for anyone that wanted this pattern

cheers P&S

Hexie swap revealed!!

My fabulous hexie parcel arrived with my birthday gift from none

other than our Swap Momma extraordinaire Cheryll so I’ve waited very patiently to open this parcel LOL…… and then because of the week I’ve just had I actually didn’t open it till after the deadline!

Here it is all wrapped up waiting for me to patiently open it……not!

I finally ripped it open to reveal all these gorgeous hexie goodies!!!

 

Here is a closer look at all the beautiful hexie’s Cheryll sent me, not one pouch but three pouches in different sizes for all my numerous projects on the go…..how did Cheryll know this?? I thought it was a well kept secret

 

I love the little hexie scissor fob……

This beautiful pouch was full of hexie papers and hexie templates,I was  sooooo spoilt by Cheryll!

I just have to show you the back of this gorgeous pouch…. isn’t it just beautiful! Thank you so much Cheryll for making our first Friends Having Fun Swaps for 2015 such a fun swap! Sending lots of 0000 & XXXX’s your way

I would also like to send a big thank you to Peg and Shez our swap Momma’s for this swap for all the hard work they do behind the scenes to make sure everything runs smoothly! Now to get to work on swap number two which is a ruler case, anyone have any suggestions on where I could find a pattern for one???/

My Gifts From Kate

My secret partner turned out to be Kate. 

A box arrived with these beautifully wrapped gifts.

 

 A beautiful butterfly hoop made out of little 1/2 inch hexagons.

 Together with a miniature hoop with the tiniest stitches of my initial.

Kate also added a packet of 1/2 inch hexagon papers and some yummy jubes.

Thank you for my lovely gifts, Kate. 

It is lovely you are now part of our group.

How lovely to have had a visit from Mr Postie yesterday

Look at my gorgeous table topper I recieved from Ondrea ...

I just adore these sweet stitcheries in amidst the hexagons....

... and there was some treats added to the parcel too.... some lovely choccy and a little compact mirror... it's so pretty...

I took this close up picture so you can see just how much work went into this lovely topper.... all hand sewn and the quilting around the edge another lovely touch...

... what a pretty thread used ...

It's so beautifully done and fits my table next to where I sit EVERY night and sew - doesn't it just breathe happy into that space....

Thank you so much Ondrea, welcome to the group and I'm happy to have been your first swappy in FHFS... love my gift...

Thanks Shez and Peg for hosting the swap and getting us girls all organised....

Righto, Gotto Go.... wet and cold and grey (love it like this for a few days) ... I may need to stay indoors and sew....
